Explain how to use grouping symbols to organize information appropriately

1 answer:

5 0

Grouping symbols organize an algebra problem that contains multiple groups. Algebraic grouping symbols.That is parentheses, brackets, braces, radicals, and fraction lines.Also show where a group starts and ends, and help to establish the order used to apply math operations.

Given the following three points, find by the hand the quadratic function they represent (0,6, (2,16, (3,33)

Lisa [10]

Answer:

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function is given as $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

Let's find a, b and c:

Substituting (0, 6):

$6 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c$

$6 = 0 + 0 + c$

$c = 6$

Now that we know the value of c, let's derive 2 system of equations we would use to solve for a and b simultaneously as follows.

Substituting (2, 16), and c = 6

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

$16 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + 6$

$16 = 4a + 2b + 6$

$16 - 6 = 4a + 2b + 6 - 6$

$10 = 4a + 2b$

$10 = 2(2a + b)$

$\frac{10}{2} = \frac{2(2a + b)}{2}$

$5 = 2a + b$

$2a + b = 5$ => (Equation 1)

Substituting (3, 33), and c = 6

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + x$

$33 = a(3)^2 + b(3) + 6$

$33 = 9a + 3b + 6$

$33 - 6 = 9a + 3b + 6 - 6$

$27 = 9a + 3b$

$27 = 3(3a + b)$

$\frac{27}{3} = \frac{3(3a + b)}{3}$

$9 = 3a + b$

$3a + b = 9$ => (Equation 2)

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to solve simultaneously for a and b.

$3a + b = 9$

$2a + b = 5$

$a = 4$

Replace a with 4 in equation 2.

$2a + b = 5$

$2(4) + b = 5$

$8 + b = 5$

$8 + b - 8 = 5 - 8$

$b = -3$

The quadratic function that represents the given 3 points would be as follows:

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

$f(x) = (4)x^2 + (-3)x + 6$

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6$

Combine Like Terms and Eliminate Parenthesis. 5z-[2z-(13z+8)]

katen-ka-za [31]

We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.

The first parenthesis is $13z+8$ . These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).

So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have

$2z-13z-8$

and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:

$2z-(13z +8) = 2z-13z-8 = (2-13)z-8 = -11z-8$

Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is

$5z-(-11z-8) = 5z+11z+8 = (5+11)z+8=16z+8$

Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.

melomori [17]

Mr. Rowley: 16:14 which reduces to 8:7
Ms. Rivera: 64:60 -> 16:15
The ratios are not equivalent because when they are reduced, they do not equal the same thing.
